With Pittsburgh Steelers rookie, defensive lineman Javon Hargrave currently questionable for Sunday’s game against the Buffalo Bills with a concussion, veteran defensive lineman Ricardo Mathews might have to start in his place opposite Stephon Tuitt. During his Thursday session with the media, Steelers defensive coordinator Keith Butler was asked what kind…

This year, Matthew Sottile and I will break down the opposing team’s defense in our weekly scouting report. Like last year, I will be looking at the opposing team in a more broad, scheme-approach. Matthew will have a closer eye on the individual players. Today, the Buffalo Bills’ defense. Alex’s Scheme Report…

This year, Josh Carney and I will break down the opposing team’s defense in our weekly scouting report. Like last year, I will be looking at the opposing team in a more broad, scheme-approach. Josh will have a closer eye on the individual players. Today, the Buffalo Bills’ offense. Alex’s Scheme Report…

The Pittsburgh Steelers won their third consecutive game on Sunday, and they found some notable success on offense in doing so, including having the first 100-yard rusher against the Giants’ defense this season. While they did not take full advantage of all of their opportunities—and the defense played its part—the…

The Pittsburgh Steelers are in a bit of a troubling position, and one they would prefer not to be in, when it comes to the defensive line right now. The team elected not to replace defensive end Cameron Heyward’s roster spot with another defensive lineman, so they have been operating…

The Cincinnati Bengals crawled out of the doldrums on Sunday by netting their first win in several weeks, just their fourth of the season, as they scraped and clawed to a now 4-7-1 record. They are probably getting pretty close to being mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, though it is…

The regular season is here, and the Pittsburgh Steelers are taking their practices at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex, formerly known and still referred to as the ‘South Side’ facility of Heinz Field. While the real work is now upon us, there is plenty left to be done. And there…

It’s a fine that is well worth, I’m sure, in Ramon Foster’s mind. Foster was slapped with a $9,115 fine for throwing New York Giants’ linebacker Kelvin Sheppard off the pile late in Sunday’s 24-14 win. Foster was defending Le’Veon Bell, who was getting grabbed and twisted under the facemask…

The Buffalo Bills’ have released their Thursday injury report in preparation for Sunday’s tilt with the Pittsburgh Steelers. WR Sammy Watkins was upgraded from a DNP yesterday to a limited participant today. He seems on track to play against the Steelers. QB Tyrod Taylor and CB Ronald Darby were listed…

I have found the perfect security system, hardly any cost required. Christmas lights. Because apparently if you turn them on full blast, they will blind any intruder. I walked up to my front porch last weekend trying to bring the groceries (read: Bagel Bites) inside and the lights were on…

Wouldn’t it be great if the Pittsburgh Steelers could get both Ronald and Antonio Brown on the field together? After all, they are kind of looking for a number two receiver right about now anyway, aren’t they? Can somebody please get in touch with Antonio about getting Ronald on the…

There has understandably been a lot of attention paid to the tight end position for the Pittsburgh Steelers this season, and rightfully so when you consider the turnover that we have witnessed from the 2015 season to the present context. Since last season, the team’s rock at the position for…

Rex Ryan, for all the bluster he infuses in his press conferences, is pretty straight forward in his press conferences. And when asked about attempting to sack Ben Roethlisberger, he was blunt: it might not happen. “We have some guys, quite honestly, I don’t know if we can bring him…
